The Greek Catholic Parish Church of St. Paraskevi in Uście Gorlickie dates from 1786. In the second half of the C20th it has been used as a Roman Catholic Church, but since 1951 and the return of some of the Lemkos, Greek Catholic services have also been held in it. It is a West Lemko church built using log construction with shingled walls. The figurative-ornamental polychrome work was applied in 1938. The fittings include an C18th late-baroque iconostasis which is interesting due to the rare sculptures on the antependia (below the Mother of God icon there is a representation of Adam and Eve, and below the Christ Teaching icon  the prophets).
